Medvedev has arguably been the best tour-level player in 2023, but has woefully underperformed at the Slams. With French nemesis Mannarino looming in the second round, expect that trend to continue.

Broady def. [4] Ruud, second round

Broady, a hometown favorite, has made a career out of Wimbledon wild cards. Ruud thinks grass is best served on a golf course. He’ll have his driver back in his hands by the middle of the first week.

Thiem or Murray def. [5] Tsitsipas, first or second round

The draw gods have pitted Tsitsipas, who has never made the second week at Wimbledon, against Thiem, with the winner potentially facing a resurgent Murray. The two-time champ barely missed the seeding cutoff, and either player could make a major statement by picking off an out-of-sorts Stef.
